The United States is no longer the melting pot it once was when its forefathers settled in this country more than 225 years ago. We no longer live in a society where "one size fits all." We're not talking just t-shirt size. This includes foods and beverages, too.
Dairy foods manufacturers cannot afford to ignore the Hispanic population. According to the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), Hispanics, who tend to eat at home more than other ethnic groups or races, spend about $117 weekly on groceries. The rest of America's weekly grocery bill totals about $87. Part of this is due to Hispanics' focus on the family. They tend to prepare traditional foods from scratch at home, with frequent holiday and cultural events commanding large family-gathering celebrations where food is the focal point.
